Poor family mother and son

Chapter 526

In the reception hall of Baolu Group, Chu Qing and Zhuo Yao were meeting head to head to study the picture on Xiao Baolai's letter....

This picture... has smooth and neat lines, a perfect circle, and a small hook in the center.

Zhuo Yao was very happy to see Xiao Bao's letter.

This is the family letter of his wife, and it is not bad for him, an outsider, to read it.

I haven't seen Xiaobao for half a year, so I really think it would be good if I can read the characters.

"Slightly thicker and shorter than an egg, perfectly round, like a wooden ball; when thrown hard on the ground, it will explode, and the sound is like an ordinary firecracker; it will catch fire, but the fire is very small; there is thick smoke, which can cover half a foot when dispersed... "

Zhuo Yao read this descriptive language several times.

He didn't think about the meaning of this passage at all, he just wanted to read it, and he was happy just looking at the handwriting: This kid, he is not crazy, the handwriting is more beautiful, is it written by the left hand or the right hand?

That expression is comparable to that of an idiot reading a love letter.

The last time I went to see Xiaobao, Zhuo Yao didn't make it, thinking too hard.

It's also strange, why do these two hit it off so well?Are they both of the same level of IQ?

"Hey, let me ask you, is there such a thing in the army?" Chu Qing had to interrupt Zhuo Yao, and his mouth was almost crooked.

"Oh? No, no, I haven't seen it." Zhuo Yao finally came to his senses.

Chu Qing's face became a little dignified.

However, in Zhuo Yao's eyes, her expression showed that she was seriously pondering the things on the picture, because whenever Chu clearly designed or researched something, she was always so dignified.

But it’s not necessary, there is nothing to think about with this thing, so he added: “I’m afraid the firecracker maker used the leftovers of fireworks and firecrackers to make something for the children at home?

Didn't it say that it is not loud and only smokes?Or the fireworks are damp and not easy to use. "

Regarding Zhuo Yao's conjecture, Chu Qing was noncommittal.

She didn't think Xiaobao would be curious about children's stuff, so she insisted on writing to seek answers.

And judging from the description, it's not something similar to the modern "throwing cannon".

To be able to smoke so much should not be for the sake of listening to the son, but it should be...a smoke bomb to conceal his whereabouts!
What happened to Xiaobao?How could there be such a thing as smoke bombs?

As for gunpowder, Chu Qing has studied it. Daxuan is not only used in fireworks and firecrackers, but also used in ore mining.

However, trying to use gunpowder as an explosive is not very effective, because the gunpowder can only work in the air at this time.

Moreover, gunpowder cannot be ignited by using something like fire twist, only a red-hot iron cone can be used.

If it is placed in a closed container, or a tubular vessel, their combustion will become very slow and incomplete.

This is the recipe question of this day and age.

But how did Xiaobao encounter the smoke bomb?

What Xiaobao said in his letter was understated, only anecdotes were mentioned, and the wooden ball was also mentioned as something he saw by chance, and he didn't write anything serious.

Xiaobao wrote letters to her parents just like she did when she was young, always writing about what she had seen and heard, talking nonsense, in short, to report good news but not bad news.

Worrying about Xiaobao made Chu Qing plan to go to Chongyu Mansion again.

But when people are free, there is nothing to do, and the more idle, the more idle; but once there are things to be busy, more things will appear to interfere at the same time, and the busier you are, the busier you will be.

When Chu Qing packed up his luggage and was about to go on the road, he received another letter from Xiaobao.

The letter said: His friend has some jade, because the local processing cost is high and the cycle is long, "please ask mother to process and sell it on behalf of the commission, and the commission will be [-]%."

I didn’t say who the friend is or how much the goods are, only that the friend will take the caravan all the way to the warehouse in Xinlunzhou, “negotiable at that time.”

Chu Qing didn't have a shop for jade processing, but Xiao Bao had a jewelry shop, but it was also opened in partnership with Song Tingshan's wife, and he didn't have his own channel for jade.

With smoke bombs in front and jade in the back, Chu Qing's heart was completely agitated.

Could it be that Xiaobao did something?
With the matter of Wu Jichang first, Chu Qing was really afraid that Xiaobao's temper would change and he would make a detour.

The letter with Xiaobao followed, and Hu Hengqiu's letter: "Chu Qing, you are in for a big deal!"

This story begins with the emperor's rectification of Jiangnan officialdom on the grounds of checking grain.

The fall of some officials made the families and consortiums behind them bear a grudge against Chu Qing.

If there is no clear comparison of those successive actions, then this year is just a double loss caused by the drought and the locust plague, which has nothing to do with anyone and is a natural disaster.

But when Chu Qing got mixed up like this, it became a man-made disaster. Although the shortage of the granary was a man-made disaster, who would admit it?

Therefore, the impeachment of Chu Qing sounded again in the court, this time the momentum was much higher than before, not only the number of people was large, but also the scope of attack was wider.

For example, "locusts for food" disrupted food prices; another example, "during the disaster" was a large-scale construction project and enslaved the people;

Therefore, at the end of the letter, Hu Hengqiu reminded her: "This letter is to remind you: prepare quickly, the emperor's decree will be delivered soon, and you are required to defend yourself in court."

Chaotang's self-defense was not a self-defense notebook, and it seemed that "a big deal has happened".

If you let me write a notebook to defend myself, it means that the situation is not very serious and not urgent.

But this is letting him enter the capital to defend himself in the court.

Who can go to court?Except for officials, officials of the fourth rank and below are not eligible to participate in the court meeting. It is clear that a foreign official from the fifth rank wants to go to the court to defend himself?

That is, Chu Qing's "mouse droppings" disturbed the pot of porridge in the capital, and they wanted to catch this mouse in front of their eyes and "repair" it?
Not right either.

If it is repaired, those sixth-rank officials in the capital can repair Chu Qing, and there will be no chance of "self-defense".

There should still be someone who speaks for Chu Qing, but the momentum is not strong.

The momentum is not strong, is it because Hu Hengqiu is not strong or is there some dissatisfaction in the secret investigation department?

Or was it that the emperor refused to "make the public angry" for Chu Qing, and just watched from the sidelines?

Or, the emperor was not strong enough to suppress the calls for impeachment from his ministers?

So, what does the emperor mean?
If the emperor had trusted Chu Qing, he would have suppressed these bad voices, but now he still has to order Chu Qing to defend herself... Does that mean the emperor doesn't trust her either?
Self-defense not only needs to identify the cause of the matter for oneself, but also needs to prove oneself to prove that one is right.

In Chu Qing's view, when a matter needs to be proved right or wrong through self-defense, it has lost its objectivity.

According to what Hu Hengqiu said in his letter, if the voices of impeachment of Chu Qing are everywhere in the court, then Chu Qing's going this time is not for self-defense at all, but for trial!
Let me ask, how can one person's mouth win a long debate?
Qu Yuan has been defending himself all his life, what is the ending?
Although Chu Qing thinks that he cannot be compared with Qu Yuan, he has one thing in common: he is not recognized by most people.

Hu Hengqiu told her to get ready, for what?Can she grow a few more mouths to quarrel with others, or can she attract a large group of fans to cheer for herself?
Look at the letter from Hu Hengqiu on the left hand and Xiaobao’s letter on the right hand, it’s really: the left hand writes him, the right hand writes love, the hands are clasped tightly, and the vague sadness.

How will my decision hurt?
